Grey Wolf (author)

The Slayer

Winter 2013 saw the publication of the epic novel THE SLAYER, written by Grey Wolf and illustrated by London-based artist Derek Roberts.

Set in a world where the Black Death recurs every hundred years, or thereabouts, the world of The Slayer has evolved in an entirely different way to our own.

Additional thanks are owed to James Ward for helping with the development of the idea.

Jason Wolfe awakens in an unfamiliar apartment, to find that someone who looks like him has led a very different life, has killed many people and taken grotesque trophies.

Slowly he comes to realise that this is not his world, but one where an alternate self has risen to one of the highest ranks possible, not only that of advisor to the Emperor of Albion, but of Slayer, the national champions who come into their own whenever there is a plague outbreak.

The Slayer is a novel of discovery, adventure, love and relationships in a world a million miles distant from that which he knows. Sometimes his friends are obvious, many times his enemies are not.

The Slayer contains a host of characters, from Emperor Lucius IV with his Castillian wife, his young daughter Bobbie, Imperial Princess Candice, Prince Rann, Princess Geraldine, and many others such as the Neapolitan ambassador, the denizens of an Albion submersible battleship, rival Slayers, and many others, too many to mention!

Read The Slayer to discover how Jason Wolfe manages to deal with the conundrum of his situation.

The Slayer encompasses a geographical spread from a very different London to a gladiatorial arena in Greece, from the waters of the Mediterranean to the halls of Novgorod.

The action takes The Slayer to the arena at Kazan, and to a denoument that sees the forces unleashed within the novel come to a head.

The Slayer is a unique novel set in a world of different technology, different mores, different organisations and very different international relations. Join Jason Wolfe in his journey to discover himself, and find his role in the reality of a world riven by recurring plague.
